A bearish threat in WTI futures remains present. The recent break of support at $84.25, the Jul 14 low, confirmed a resumption of the downtrend that started Jun 8 and marks the end of a broad sideways move that has been in place since mid-July. This has strengthened bearish conditions and a continuation lower would open $79.31 next, the Feb 18 low. Key short-term resistance is unchanged at $89.35, the 50-day EMA.
